5. What matters to you… NHS Boards hold the contract that support independent contractors in their area and as a result will hold them to account. Boards should work with all independent contractors locally to monitor how feedback is used to drive improvements and to actively manage the challenges that arise. This includes offering the people a point of contact in the Board team who can offer advice and support to people and contractors Awareness of the role and availability of the Patient Advice and Support Service/Advocacy/Mediation should continue to be raised locally Quality Improvement capacity and capability building in NHS Boards should involve explicit links to the use of complaints and feedback as rich source of data for improvement NHS Boards should continue to raise awareness and focus on learning and improvement as the main outcome of the process of dealing with feedback, comments, concerns and complaints
